About: Count on me. I have cared for my two dogs and two cats over the years. Pets seem to easily like me, and I like them. I have one medium size dog of my own now, who’s six years old. I’m easy going, but firm when needed. When you’re traveling, your dear pups need extra love and attention, and I’ll be there for them. My full-time role in marketing dissolved, so I currently have great schedule flexibility. I do have a dog of my own to care for—my lovebug Bravo. I will come to your home to care for your pet. I will spend time getting to know them and addressing their needs and personality. Just let me know any special concerns and what works best with your special four-legged family member.
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
“Fatima took great care of our pets and was extremely respectful of our home. We would trust her to take care of our cats and dog and house again. She kept us updated on their behavior and sent us great pics of them. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Victor took great care of our three fur babies when we were out of town. He stayed at our place and checked in frequently with pics and messages. The pups seemed super happy when we got home. Victor left the house neat and vacuumed before we got back. I would definitely use Victor again.”
About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my entire life. In the past, I have owned and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Dalmatians down to a 8 pound Frenchie. With all my past experience, I am excited to care for your pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I currently care for my mini best friend, aka my cat Oreo, and have been caring for her for the past 8 years. I have experience with all kinds of pets and am excited to be able to watch your sweet pets! I am (typically) home and finished with work on weekdays after 3:00pm and I am available most weekends at any time to watch your pets. I currently have an indoor cat and help take care of all her needs ranging from trimming her nails, playing with her, and keeping her litter box clean. In the past, I have owned many dogs and always make sure to put their needs first. Depending on what my dog needs, I can spend the day playing with them, walking them, or just cuddling on the couch.
About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!
About: *One client at a time. *20+ years of experience taking care of fur babies and providing basic grooming needs. *Home all day and can provide constant attention. *Daily updates and pictures will be provided. (taking pictures of babies and fur babies is a hobby of mine) *Walks multiple times per day (weather permitting). *can provide basic grooming such as brushing, teeth cleaning. I am currently a stay at home mom and my human baby is at school full time now. I have a small havanese 11lbs names Ellie who keeps me company. My little family loves having and fostering fur babies. Having your fur baby to dote on would be a treat for us. I love taking morning nature walks with fur babies, but I also have a small fenced backyard to play in. Though my family has a very social and friendly havanese we have gates that we can secure to keep her separated if your fur baby prefers its own space. If I need to leave the house for school pick up etc they will be separated on different floors of the house. Their safety is my top priority. Other wise they will be free to roam and explore the house with me. Please feel free to share any special instructions that will make your fur baby more comfortable and feel safe away from home.
“Anastasia takes excellent care of our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and are home. We always miss our dogs terribly when we go away, but trust they are well cared for by Anastasia.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and currently have three of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with cats of different personalities, including shy, playful, independent, and very affectionate cats. I’m attentive to their individual routines and personalities and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, food, fresh water, playtime, and clean litter while you’re away. Although most of my personal experience is with cats, I also love dogs and would be happy to care for them as well. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re apart. I work most days, so I plan to schedule pet care around my work hours and only accept bookings that fit well with my availability. I want to make sure I have enough time to give each cat the attention and care they need rather than rushing through a visit. For drop in visits, I’m happy to come to the owner’s home while they’re away to feed their cats, refresh their water, clean their litter box, and spend some time playing with them or giving them attention. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re gone. I’ll make sure we go over the cat’s usual routine beforehand so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha
“This was our first time using Brooke after we recently moved to Aldie Virginia. Our dogs LOVED her and always looked so happy in the pics she sent us. She communicated, she was punctual and overall she was just very kind. She even left my wife and I a nice note when we got back from our trip and left cookies for our dogs 😊 we will definitely be going to Brooke for all of our daycare needs!”
“Liyah was so great with our two dogs! One of them is very difficult which is why we went with a house sitter over boarding, and she worked with him so well. She communicated well, demonstrated really good knowledge of dog handling and care, and took good care of the house while we were away. Will definitely book again.”

Keirsten and Zeeke hit it off immediately and it was refreshing to see them both have an amazing time while she house sat and took care of our elderly statesman. She provided constant updates, pictures, videos, and made sure to ask all the important questions to take care of our pup. Would definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 8,728 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zouave Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Zouave Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Zouave Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Zouave Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
